The Spanish centre back joined Andoni Iraola’s side for £12.6m from Juventus last summer and has impressed in his first season in England.

Huijsen has made 25 Premier League appearances this term and played a big role in the Cherries’ push for a European spot. 

He will be available to sign for just £50million due to a release clause in his contract, with many of European football’s biggest side beginning to circle.

As reported by The Athletic, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham have all met Huijsen’s representatives.

Offers have not yet been made for Huijsen but Bournemouth want to to resolve his future as soon as possible. 

Real Madrid also hold interest in the 19-year-old, who recently made his debut for the Spanish national side. 

In a recent interview with El Chiringuito TV, Huijsen hailed Real as a ‘big team’, and admitted he has ambitions to play at the highest level.   

He said: ‘One of my close friends sent me a story about Real. He told me to go to Madrid!

‘I don’t know, we’ll see. It’s a big team. Every player wants to play at the maximum level possible.

‘I have a contract until 2030, I do have a clause.

‘(Idol?) Ramos, since I was young. (Ancelotti?) He is a very good coach. He’s not at Madrid for nothing, he has his merit.’

Huijsen was born in Amsterdam to Dutch parents but gained Spanish citizenship in February 2024 after moving to Marbella as a five-year-old, progressing through the Malaga youth team.

Despite playing for the Netherlands at various youth international levels, he opted to play for Spain at senior level, making his debut against his birth country in the UEFA Nations League in March.
